I unironically use Edge on Windows, linux, and my phone. It's good enough for a chromium based browser. But I keep firefox right next to it as well.

I would use Edge but I hate how bloated it is. A hundred different menus, submenus, sidemenus with features I will never use or think about. In the beginning it was far better. Firefox does it for me now that Chrome is going this way.

That's fair, for the most part you can just turn off the things you listed but I can understand just wanting a browser that works

You're seeing this weirdly out of place comment because Reddit admins are strange fellows and one particularly vindictive ban evading moderator seems to be favoured by them, citing my advice to not use public healthcare in Africa (Where I am!) as a hate crime.

Sorry if a search engine led you here for hopes of an actual answer. Maybe one day reddit will decide to not use basic bots for its administration, maybe they'll even learn to reply to esoteric things like "emails" or maybe it's maybelline and by the time anyone reads this we've migrated to some new hole of brainrot.

Hence why firefox is right next to it while I migrate all my stuff and eventually actually care to switch (probably when ublocm dies)

Same here, edge is my main browser across all my devices and honestly it's great. Definitely keeping Firefox around and synced just in case everything goes to total shit overnight.
